After getting my M.A. in Public History at UIS, I followed my dream job out west to Kansas. As the curator for the Geary County Historical Society, I get to do what I love best every day–play with old dusty things and discover new (old) treasures. When I am not setting up an exhibit or covered in 100 year old dust in the museum, I am lucky enough to live in the beautiful Flint Hills where hiking and sightseeing is at a premium!

Since working at the CTL, I graduated from UIS with a degree in Sociology/Anthropology. I then joined AmeriCorps for the Illinois Public Health Association. After that I decided to pursue a Master of Public Health (MPH) at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. After completing the required courses at Jefferson, I joined medical school at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in New York. I completed my MPH simultaneously last December 2013. Right now I am a third year and doing core clinical rotations. I’m deciding on pursuing a career in either Emergency Medicine, Physical Medicine, or Primary Care while focusing on public health and international health. During medical school I did two international humanitarian trips to Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.

I’m obtaining my Master’s degree of Accounting on campus this semester, and I’m also in the GPSI program, and having my internship at the Illinois Department of Transportation.

I’m currently at UIllinois College of Law. I spent the past summer as a law clerk in the law department of Mondelez International (formerly known as Kraft Foods Inc.), the world’s leader in the snacking industry (the Oreo people!). I graduate in 2016 and will likely practice commercial litigation. I’m on the job hunt now, so that, and my location, will hopefully be finalized soon.

I’m currently working at Rochester High School as a school counselor after graduating in 2010 with my MA in school counseling. This is my fifth year in the school counseling field and my fourth year at Rochester High. I have used my experience as a tutor at UIS to develop a peer tutoring program of my own at Rochester High, pairing National Honor Society upperclassmen with underclassmen who need one on one help with their coursework.
